    I would not be surprized if Anthropic would actually hire a real developer to make these PRs as a marketing stunt

      In 2021, when Amazon launched its first “just walk out” grocery store in the UK in Ealing, west London, this newspaper reported on the cutting-edge technologies that Amazon said made it all possible: facial-recognition cameras, sensors on the shelves and, of course, “artificial intelligence”.
      An employee who worked on the technology said that actual humans – albeit distant and invisible ones, based in India – reviewed about 70% of sales made in the “cashier-less” shops as of mid-2022

      UK AI company builder.ai has been tricking customers and investors for eight years – selling an advanced code-writing AI that, it turns out, is actually an Indian software farm employing 700 human developers.

        builder AI was genuine AI, it’s just that the company simultaneously also did contracted development with real humans. journalists got confused.

        there’s a really good youtube documentary i watched which actually got into the tools and software used, but I can’t find it anymore. either way, you can’t dress up humans coding as AI. it’s not fast enough.

    (In case someone has been living under a rock in the last 48 hours. Anthropic’s new model “Mythos” has been finding a lot of new vulnerabilities. This is about patching one.)

    It’s OK to hate AI slop and recognize the immediate threat to cyber security it brings. At least they are trying to mitigate it. There’s been no similar actions from other frontier models. They are deliberately helping open source projects with little funding to keep pace.

    ai tools can detect potential vulnerabilities and suggest fixes. You can still go in by hand and verify the problem carefully apply a fix.

    The ffmpeg team was mad at Google when they reported a bug that was found and reported automatically with an AI. Google reported the bug without providing a fix and also gave an ultimatum. Google would publicize the bug report after 60 days. That’s what pissed off the ffmpeg devs. Not to mention that it was a very obscure bug, like ffmpeg didn’t decode a video file from a 90’s videogame correctly.

    Anthropic on the other hand found a bug and provided a fix. So why would they be mad if the fix is properly written and fixes the bug ?

    So they read them, and the patches were good (according to this message)

    Why hate then?

    Maybe he meant code quality was so good its like a human wrote it.

    After all if the code is good and follow all best practices of the project, why reject it just because it was an AI who wrote it. That’s racism against machines.
